Re: flag as important when sending
Is it possible to mark a message as Important or Urgent, so that the receiver notices this. I know this is common for other clients (Importance: or X-Priority:). It is of course possible to add this manually, but shouldn't this be an standard mail client feature? Or this not depreciated? I don't think there's a standard way of doing, or even a standard used by MUAs. Unless M$ introduced another one through the backdoor ... Some MUAs (elm, I think) provide support for a Precedence: header, but this header does something very different: it allows to tweak the priority of messages (= sort order) in sendmail's queue. The algorithm behind that is described in the Sendmail Installation and Operation Guide.

I cannot comment on qmail, and I certainly don't advocate to add support for this in mutt :) # pwd /usr/local/src/mail/snapshot-20001005 # find . -name '*.[ch]' |xargs grep -l Precedence: #
